What do you (yes YOU) think about hairless cats?
- Thread starter subpar spatula
- Start date
This is partly mitigated by the fact that, unlike most other cat breeds, sphinxes apparently tolerate water.
you mean me..? like me personally? uhmm, i was NOT prepared to be questioned on this at this moment (i'm kind of busy now trying to order PIZZA), but fine, i will say that personally i have always tried to stay away, to keep a safe distance. happy?
He looks like such a nice and cute boy! I hope he lives a long and happy life, he deserves the best!
i know what humans look like under the skin too but that doesn't mean i want one living in my house like that
I am not a cat person at all, I am allergic, and they are kinda assholes. But I love me some hairless cats since they don't make my eyes explode. My good friend has one, growing up my best friend had 2, and I know a few artist friends that have them. My buddys is here 𓃠Renji Ssikrats Abarai𓃠 (@renji_ssikrats) • Instagram photos and videos
I'm warming up to them. I love a good wrinkly pet, and with my allergies they're the #1 breed I've considered
You've gotta know that equating skin with fur is a bit of a fallacy when humans also have "fur."
I find them ugly but I've met a few and they have great personalities. Plus they see, like one of the more outgoing cats as the ones I've met are ones that are being walked on a leash in a pet store. They also need a bath every week apparently cause their skin is oily.
I met one at a fairly young age so they never bothered me, I see them as regular cats that just don't have fur. Understand why it's jarring for people who are not used to them. They're just like any other cat, and poop cannot get stuck on their fur so that's a plus.
Cute, but getting one because your wife is allergic to cats is the wrong choice. A lot of cat allergies are caused by cat dandruff rather than hairs and naked cats still have that.
I love them! Pretty sure the look will grow on you once you get to know a Sphynx and realize how amazing they are.
Personally I have two Devon Rex kittens. Some people seem to suffer from allergy problems from this breed, while others don't.
The breed can also differ alot in how thick their coat of fur is. My oldest cat has much less hair than my little guy.
I would urge you to spend some time with the specific cat breed to ensure that they don't trigger any allergy reactions, before commiting to anything. Any respectable breeder would understand that.

I love 'em! I'm also allergic so getting a cat like a Sphinx has been something I've been mulling over for a long time. They look cute and you can dress them up in sweaters to keep 'em warm.
LOL I actually like Bulldogs & Pugs as well. All the "ugly" animals are just so cute to me.
They're the cutest, most adorable bestest cats around and my boyfriend and I have been talking about getting one. Haters gonna hate.
edit - also Sphynx cats have a tendency to be extremely affectionate, kind of like dogs. Which just makes them even more so the best

From what I have read they also require extra care because of the lack of fur. They get cold quickly and need a heated bed or heating pads (not all cats will be OK with clothes). They also have very oily skin and can't clean themselves like a cat with fur so you have to give them weekly baths. Prone to ear infections which means you need to keep their ears clean at all times. Their skin can become dry and chapped.
